Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,332	119.59	1,593	9thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred Heifers	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	(<2 yrs)	780	$975	1thin
